Helps parents understand!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I gave this book to my mother when my partner and I decided to have a commitment ceremony. Mom was having trouble understanding and didn't seem to recognize our commitment to each other as equally valid to straight marriages. After she read the book, she sent my partner a HUGE bouquet of flowers and a card telling him she was so pleased that he was going to become an "official" part of our family!
Well written and beautifully illustrated.

My partner and I are two of the subjects (or is it ONE of the subjects?) of this book. Andy Jones has shown great perception in his interpretation of the interview that we gave and his pen has told 29 very different stories with charm and wit. David Fields black & white photography is stunning and dramatic.
Beautiful, warm, moving

Like one of the other reviewers on this page, I grew up without positive Gay role models, and it took decades for me to learn self-respect. This book reminds us that well-adjusted Gay couples can be found throughout our culture, something that's important for young Gay people to learn and for older Gay people to remain aware of.I'm lucky enough to be acquainted with one of this book's subjects, Steve Langley of Washington, and I have a lot of respect for the choice he and his partner have made to be included. It's a beautiful book.
Role models are important, and this book provides them.

I grew up without positive, visible role models of gay men in committed relationships. Luckily, I found my way into one. This book provides a glimpse into the lives of a number of gay male couples who are willing to serve as role models to today's young people and to men everywhere who are in search of affirmation of their loving male relationship. I applaud this effort. I find the portraits (both words and imagery) beautiful.
Excellent photo-essays: giving gay men real-life role models
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Gay men need to be reminded that life-long commitment *IS* possible and this book does an excellent job ... the stories of the 29 gay couples in the book serves to inspire and gives me hope that one-day I might look upon my relationship in much the same way. The book is beautifully illustrated by the photography of David Fields and the text by Anderson Jones is relaxed and very enjoyable to read.
